come to Christ to be cleaned.

This is so interesting. In the Old Testament many were struck dead for being unclean in religious ceremonies, but here a simple prayer led tograce overcoming law. This extends to us today. How many are…

Endless genealogies

I had some trouble when I ran into the part of the Bible. It's hard to learn much from these genealogists, but i think I have been revealed atleast one lesson. The people we choose for a spouse can affect…

1 Chronicles 1:35 (ESV)

Worship and it's reward.

Singing to our Lord is a long standing tradition for my faith. In 1 Chronicles men that long ago were in charge of worship were by having their names added to The Bible. Just think this tradition is passed…

Underneath the vail of a grin

Rebelion, redemption, and the water.

the world knew peace once, but that was ages ago. Back when things were simple, one man, one woman, and one God. The one God that gave man everything, but one tree. That one tree was the one thing we…

Genesis 1:1 (ESV), Genesis 1:4 (ESV)

Light and darkness

Final will of Peter

Something i was thinking about the beginning to II Peter was that it sounds so official. He wrote his name in almost a legally binding way. This combined with the context that he thinks he is dying makes…

2 Peter 1:1 (ESV)

blessed are poor, but the rich no more.
